The oldest known elf in Tolkien's lore is often considered Círdan the Shipwright, present from the awakening of the elves, making him potentially over 10,000 years old by the Third Age, though the exact oldest might be Ingwë, the High-King who lived in Valinor, also extremely ancient. These elves predate the Sun and Moon, having been present at the very beginning of their people, and possess limitless lifespans, aging very slowly but capable of death through grief or violence.
In English, that means that Círdan would be upward of around 10,000 years old during the events of The Lord of the Rings and somewhere around 7,000 years old during the events of The Rings of Power, which take place about 3,000 years before the Fellowship of the Ring forms.
Everyone is going to have a different answer but, for elves, I assume this: The human equivalent is x5 up to 'mid-twenties' bracket. So, a '16yo' is 80 years while a '24yo' is 120 years. After that, the aging process essentially stops.
From that logic alone, one elf year is 7.5 human years. That would mean the human equivalent of an approximately mature (18-year-old) elf is 135.
